1-Incoming Freshman Flyer
For my first genre I decide to do a flyer. I thought a flyer would be most appealing to incoming freshman because freshman can tend to have wandering eyes and look to the things that surround them. I thought a flyer would catch their attention by writing "Attention incoming freshmen girls" to get the point across that, that is who I plan my audience to be. I use CRAP principles such as alignment, by lining my wording up correctly and using bullets. I also used contrast and kept my colors in the same scheme of blue, and orange, which also meant that I used repition to make it seem like the flyer all came together with the same colors, and fonts that I had used.
What I like about this flyer is that it draws a lot of attention to its readers. I like the big picture because it draws me into reading the words that are on the flyer. Also, words that are so big on flyers allows people to see the flyer and catch their attention from far away, that is something that I would like to do with my sororities topic for the freshman. I could relate this to my flyer for incoming freshman because I can put a big picture of sororities around campus, with big words about the "Rush process" giving attention to the incoming freshman to get involved for when the time comes around for them. This flyer did not use alot of repition because I can tell that different fonts were used all over this flyer, but they did remain in the same color scheme
For my new flyer, I really like how it is "Calling all Freshman" it has a big enough heading that is visible to people from far away and also is specifying a specific type of audience. I also really can see myself duplicating this flyer for the incoming freshman using the arrows with the who, when, where & when, and note about when to come to the rush events, who they can meet at the rush events, and what the date and time is that these events are occuring. I think something that is grabbing just freshman's attention will make the flyer even more appealing to the freshman's eyes. On the note section, I can state something about what being in a sorority means, and some of the benefits that are offered. This flyer has great promixity with the way everything is lined up, and great repition with the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE. This flyer helped me understand how to add promixity and repititon in my own example
I really like this next article because of the neon color, it is a known fact that neon colors are just easier to be seen by the public eye. I also like the large font, I could do something in the center of the page about girls interested in recruitment. What makes this different from the articles is that their is a place at the bottom where you can pull off information. I think that is really interesting because you can put a number or email on the small slip where you can contact people if they have any questions about sororities. No CRAP principles really stick out to me in this flyer, but it does look professional due to the Bloomsburg University sign.
2-Letter to the parents
For my next genre, I chose to write a letter to the parents. I used promixity and repition from the CRAP principles to get my point across to the parents. I tried to use bullets and kept my language professional when writing about sororities. I included the benefits of joining Greek life, the process that your daughter will be going through, the new memeber education process, and what it means for your daughter after she is finished with the pledging process and now is a new memeber of the sisterhood. Everything is in close enough proximity and not spaced too much so that it doesn't look scattered and I used repetition by keeping everything in basically one alignment.
- My 3 examples and the help from my peer editing helped me shape my letter into a much more professional matter. Through my 3 examples, I got the information I needed for when it came to what information was apporpriate to add to my letter to make it seem most profesional. One letter told me to add what their child will be going through during the new memeber education process. The next letter I had found on a college website, I think a letter like that for the parents would be a smart move to put on Bloomsburg's website for parents to see what kind of new member education process their child will be going through here at Bloomsburg.
3-Satire
My third choice was to do a satire because a satire on sororities would be making whatever I have been trying to convince to people this whole semester now true. So I decided to make a satire on the stereotype that most people give to sorority girls. We drink, party, wear letters, live in a dirty sorority house, sleep around, all those things that you may think of us.. I have now made seem to become true. I used the CRAP principles to make it look like a professional brochure. I used promixity to keep my words and pictures aligned so that it would look neatly organized, I used contrast because I wanted to keep the same color scheme going on throughout the whole brochure. I also got help from my peers, to use less words so it was much easier to read.
-My 3 examples helped me shape mine into what it is now even though none of them were brochures. The first example had a great use of contrast, so that is how I got the color scheme that I needed to use for my own satire. The color is important because it grabs the audiences attention. The next example didn't use too many CRAP principles but it sure got my attention and was very humerous, which is what I think will be the same for when people see my satire of my sororities, there is humerous language and the way it is written will just make you laugh. And my third example I really enjoyed the colors, the brightness and the way this image was displayed, helped me find the most perfect images to use for my own work. I didn't get much insirpriation from my satire examples because they are not brochures but looking up different satires helped me make mine humerous, and the best it could be.
